Stoker’s employees who have passed their 6 month probationary period with the company, are entitled to a discount on all goods bought for their own personal use. This discount policy does not extend to family and friends. The Company reserves the right to refuse an employee sale without explanation.

THE DISCOUNT The discounted price of the goods is the original cost price plus ten percent, plus VAT at the appropriate rate. Prices will be identified by the Store Manager/Director or one of the Directors. Payment in full is to be taken at the time of the order. Any employee discount MUST be authorised by the employee’s line manager. An employee cannot conduct a sale for themselves, their manager must complete the sale. Goods which are subject to a special manufacturer’s deal, which cannot be repeated; or items to be cleared off the floor at a special reduced price are not eligible for staff discounts without the prior consent of a Director. Stokers reserves the right to charge for delivery. All goods must be paid for in full when the order is placed with the supplier. Payment must be made by cash, card or cheque only.
